Why all the complaining about HO?
« Reply #75 on: May 25, 2004, 10:40:18 AM »
Surely it is ridiculous. Poor bastards . But should one laugh if some people are not capable enough to take the fact that they didnt score it? Isnt it even too patetic sometimes when theese people start whining their complaints? Hopefully they will regain their mind and dignity later and keep it up:cool:

I can't believe this!  Last night I was reading "God is My Co-pilot" by Col. Robert Scott. (a p-40 dweeb if ever there was one!)  

He was describing his first air-to-air fight with the Japanese when he engaged a two engine bomber, then realized that it had two Zero escorts.  During the course of the battle - trying to get the bomber while avoiding being shot by the Zeros - he actually states that he took a HEAD ON snap shot at one of the Zeros! (Of course the Zero was later found crashed and burned...)

I have just lost all respect for the brave men of the AVG and the Flying Tigers!;)

All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

Fishing?  No.  I thought the smiley after the post was enough to indicate that the posting was "tounge in cheek", but I guess not.
I just posted it as a somewhat cynical proof that real life pilots could and did use the HO as a viable method of air combat.

Sorry but simply put a dweeb is anyone who HOs, gets lucky enough, blindsides, cheats or otherwise manuvers into position and kills me. All others are just posers.

After a thourough reserch I have found  that a true dweeb status only can be achieved  by performing the ancient "dxwebsetup.exe" ritual after installing AH.
